PowerStation Ultima

ElectroChem’s Ultima™ gas management unit multiplies the power of the PowerStation™ to enable fuel cell and electrochemical testing to an efficient level. Designed for PEM, alkaline, and phosphoric acid fuel cells, it provides added capacity for 4 more single cells and fuel cell stacks. For those faced with extensive fuel cell testing requirements, there is no more advanced system, and no safer system for unattended operation. Only sold with the PS-Ultima™ System Controller.

All power and control connections provided by PowerStation™ Control Unit*

* The Ultima™gas management unit is designed to operate in conjunction with the CompuCell™gas management unit. Detailed specifications on the CompuCell™ are provided in separate literature available from ElectroChem.
